(Additionally the fringe of pro-MAGA left get cabinet positions - it’s all organized around fealty first, policy an arbitrarily later consequence of royal decree)

Fealty to Trump is the only heuristic. Sketch it out with anyone conservative but Never Trump, and they’re not “real”; anyone conservative but conspicuously non-MAGA and they’re unnoticed. And the narrowness of the pro-MAGA academic is entirely a function of the movement’s politics.

By what rules could we not expect an investigation into Trump/Russia? Do we really want to play by that set of rules? We’d be in a more politically batshit environment had we not investigated.

The ceremonial enumeration of purity tests when moderation of tactics is hinted at feels like genre writing to me at this point.

I think Go is probably closer to its ceiling of plausible Pareto improvements than most languages, for better or worse. Std Lib is a more promising place to put big efforts. Real difference in error handling is in the cluster of issues needing, tabula rasa, another language - not needed now.

My version of truth is error handling proposals is that none of them actually make handling logic tighter.

The earlier library update to support error wrapping was a bigger deal.

A minority of ‘GitHub’ seemed to engage on exhaustive pattern matching or stack tracing or observability.

As one of the obliquely referenced ‘GitHub’ folk, we may have needed a ‘Go fuck yourself’ in the sense that the discussions were fine for noodling around, but the good decisions for Go have come from a more isolated place post-discussion.

There is an observable reversion to the mean from AI, when often the best writing is doing something unique, on every level.

I’m very happy with a Chevy Bolt, a model discontinued because the market was going to better for higher priced EVs, according to the dealer (actually ended up with his slightly used Bolt). So my questions would be about the market as well as the vehicle.

It’s a couple of new world tweaks away from a Macedonian Bolognese

I don’t have 3 years, can I count studying for Calc exams by napping on the textbook as a transferable skill?

It’s a mindset that feels similarly insufficient towards foreign policy challenges in a post-unipolar world. It’s a poor classifier.

The preconditions for determinism seem to be postconditions of deterministic builds, is this the idea?

I haven’t seen discussion on bootstrapping, maybe it wasn’t a direct factor in the choice. I do think there’s a case to be made for Go on the bootstrapping path, it’s sort of underrated on that, IMHO. That’s a long-term concern.

The convenience is tangible, IMHO.

Weird case: I’ve been helping my mom work through account/device recovery for a colleague of hers who passed away after years of dementia. Many devices (don’t remember buying a laptop? buy another) and untold numbers of accounts. In theory passkeys would help.

I use the North Korean distro and everything gets backed up and my passwords are managed

AVX512 isn’t the worst thing ever, but I think Intel’s strategy was to advance x86 faster than the competition but they missed the strategy of transcending x86 faster than their customers.
